It's still pretty unbelievable that we have this type of power right now on 28nm technology - incredible fast, but very efficient video cards with the possibilities really opening up with 4-way SLI and 4K and beyond.

As you can see, the Titan X in SLI can be pretty damn loud when those fans are pumping away at 100%, but during our BF4 usage, they didn't get too loud - pushing out a little less noise than the fans do at a manual 50.

Unparalleled performance at high resolutions, with the Maxwell architecture continuing to shine in the GM200 core.

BioShock Infinite at 1440p wasn't as impressive, but we still have some great gains on the GTX Titan X. The GM200-powered card beat the overclocked R9 290X 8GB by 26%, while it beat the GTX 980 by 15.

NVIDIA will be pairing it with 12GB VRAM – indicating a 384-bit memory bus – and it will once again be using NVIDIA’s excellent metal cooler and shroud, originally introduced on the original GTX Titan.

The DiGi+ design on the motherboard includes several high-quality components such as the DR.MOS MOSFETs, capacitors with the ability to operate up to 12000 hours, ProCool power connectors and thermal chokes.

ASUS’s high-performance and workstation grade, X99-E WS motherboard has been unveiled prior to its launch tomorrow.

not entirely sure about this, but i do know that if you have a 3xsli setup and triple monitor setup with 1 gpu for each monitor you get the full 12gb by utilizing 4gb per monitor.

What you don't get is that if you SLI two NVIDIA cards, you only are able to use the amount of VRAM that a SINGLE card has. For example, a 4 GB GDDR5 GTX 980. If you SLI even four of them, you are only able to use 4 GB of VRAM. The same doesn't go for AMD, I don't think.

My apologies, you may be correct in that regard. I did not think that it was, but now that I look, I cannot find any evidence to the contrary. I believe that I may have made the mistake due to the fact that the gtx 690 (the highest end 6xx series card) has two gpu's.

Isn't 780 Ti a single gpu?

Robert McClelland (07:10 PM, August 30, 2014)

Unfortunately, I fear that in the interest of future proofing one's setup 6 Gbs of vram may be preferred. Already we're seeing games, like Watch Dogs, that are vram destroyers. If you are running 4k or multi-monitor I fear that this is especially true. The other consideration that you fail to mention is that the 780 Ti is a dual gpu card, whereas the Titan Black has only one. Meaning that hypothetically you could SLI 4 Titan Blacks, but only 2 780 Ti's.

I ordered my Titan Black Superclocked today!

It costs a premium for the extra 3GB over a 780 Ti (not complaining or anything). For gaming, I'd consider SLI'ing two 780 Ti's (or lower) for multi-monitor setups. The main factor is whether one needs the extra vram or not.
